Latasha Renee Love (37), of Charlotte NC, called the po-po on her young son. Was he threatening her with a knife? Did he steal her car and crash it into a tree? NO! She had her son arrested and put through the juvenile court system, for the heinous crime of eating some POP TARTS!

The silly police officers actually turned up and arrested the poor kid, and charged him with misdemeanour larceny. The police estimated the value of the stolen goods to be a grand total of $5 and commonly found as a staple food item in most supermarkets throughout the USA. On Wednesday last week, a reporter waited two hours to speak to Greedy Mum. G.M. parked her car round the back of her house and briefly made an appearance on her front porch, but only to swear at the reporter and slam the door.

Oh come on now, Latasha. Where is the Love? Surely you could have shared the Pop Tarts with your son? Pop Tarts aren’t exactly a fine wine or vintage cheddar. The poor kid probably thought they were for him, seeing as Pop Tarts are marketed towards children. Greedy Mum has had problems with disciplining her son in the past, probably because she couldn’t get out of her mobility scooter or waddle fast enough to keep up with him. So she palmed the responsibility off to someone else.

The misdemeanour case against the poor boy will be heard in a juvenile court. At the expense of Greedy Mum.

Aussie’s Native Natterings: Pop Tarts used to be widespread here in Australia in the 90s, but now they’re only available in specialty shops. They’re really expensive (like $10 for 8 of them). I only like them occasionally, and I bought a 24-pack on the cheap once ($10). I shared them with my sisters, who expressed disbelief at the fact that Pop Tarts are a “breakfast food” in the US. We also laughed at the box because it claimed that Pop Tarts were a “good source of 8 vitamins and minerals”. You can’t get the full range of flavours here, only what the shops import. The last lot I had were Fudge Sundae.

Feeding your kid Pop Tarts for breakfast on a daily basis should be child abuse. Those things are seriously unhealthy.

Sometimes at BB, we forget that adult children can be the victims of piss-poor parenting. We tend to get caught up with the little cuties that can’t defend themselves, sometimes forgetting that adult children usually don’t expect their parents to go apeshit and attack them.

Police say that Eugene Maraventano (64), of Goodyear AZ, killed his wife Janet (63) because he thought she might have caught HIV/AIDS from him. He then went on to kill his adult son Bryan (27) because he was concerned about what would become of him because he had no job and no girlfriend. He then tried to kill himself, but failed miserably.

Investigators in court said that the slimeball thought his wife had caught cancer or AIDS off of him. He thought he had AIDS because he frequented prostitutes when he worked on the railway. So instead of going to the doctor’s for a confidential HIV/AIDS test and STI test, his solution was to stab his wife to death. After he disposed of his wife, the slimeball wondered what would become of his son, who was 27, had no job and no girlfriend, and spent all day playing video games. What was he to do? Did he say, “Son, it’s time you got up off your bum and get a job?” Did he sell the gaming console and all the games? Did he kick him out? NO!! He stabbed him to death too!

According to the police record, the slimeball got a 14 inch knife from the kitchen, went upstairs and stabbed his sleeping wife to death. Then he knocked on his son’s door and when he answered, he stabbed him too. The knife ended up on the master bedroom bedside table after he unsuccessfully tried to kill himself. The slimeball was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries (why bother?) and is now being held in jail on a $2 million bond. It’s not known whether he has an attorney or whether his wife did indeed have HIV/AIDS or cancer. The slimeball told police that he and his wife weren’t fighting the night of the killing.

Rest in Peace, Janet and Bryan. There was no excuse to kill you, none at all. Bryan needed some serious discipline to get a job and stop playing video games. The slime ball was too cowardly to fess up to his wife about his concerns and too lazy to help his son. Once a bad breeder, always a bad breeder.

Thanks to Shellee for the tip. This story was so “WTF” that it couldn’t not go on BB.

A selfish bitch c*** who drowned her two little sons is being deported back to Australia after serving a measly 10 months of a 15 month sentence. For “manslaughter”. All because she was “depressed”.

Authorities say that Allyson McConnell, then 31, drowned her two little boys, Jayden (20 months) and Connor (3) in the bathtub of their Millet, Alberta home in February 2010. She allegedly left their little bodies to rot while she tried to kill herself by jumping off of a bridge. Unfortunately she did not succeed. Why is it that these selfish fucks who kill their kids and themselves get it in the wrong order? It’s “Kill yourself” first! The selfish bitch c*** only got a few broken bones and was taken to a hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. They should have let her die. Broken bones can kill and it’s a lovely slow painful death.

The boys’ father, Curtis McConnell, told the court that trouble had been brewing for months. They had split, and the selfish bitch c*** wanted to take the boys and move back to Australia. He was afraid that she’d take off with the boys without his knowledge. Even though the couple were separated, they still lived in the same house, and Mr McConnell was seeking joint custody of the boys, or sole custody if Allyson did indeed move back to Australia. Mr McConnell returned from work to find his sons’ lifeless bodies on the bathroom floor. Neighbours tried to console him and helped him call the authorities. The selfish bitch c*** was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to a lousy 15 months in a psychiatric hospital. 15 months. Shorter than the lives of her sons, which she so brutally snuffed out. She only served 10 of them.

Fast forward to 2013. The selfish bitch c*** has served her blip of a sentence and is being deported to Australia. She is now 34, still young enough to have more children that she can kill when things don’t go her way. There has been a review of the decision to deport the selfish bitch c***, following protests from her ex husband and Alberta authorities who opposed her lenient charges and sentencing. She was deported today. I hope her plane never makes it to Sydney and that she dies in a firey bleeding mess.

It’s just lovely how the Australian government likes to protect criminals. There is no name for monster who killed his girlfriend’s 4 year old son, nor a name for the indifferent egg donor who let her sex toy kill her child. Not even mugshots or a photo of the little boy for us to mourn. I’ll just have to make up some names then.

Today, the little boy’s grandmother gave her victim impact statement at a Sydney court on behalf of her beloved grandson, who was killed by his birth vessel’s 24 year old tw*t tickler on the 1st April, 2011. The tw*t tickler beat the little boy in the head as he was bathing him. This gives me quite a yucky feeling. The tw*t tickler had no business being in the bathroom with a child that wasn’t his…this disturbs me on such a deep level. Grandmother described her anguish at not being able to save her mischievous and bright little grandson who had an infectious laugh. The court was shown a blown up photo of the little boy and I hope it haunts the tw*t tickler and the indifferent egg donor for the rest of their pathetic and miserable days.

Weeks before the tw*t tickler killed the little boy, the little boy told his grandma that the tw*t tickler was hurting him. The little boy told her “He hurts me Nanny” and “He holds me down in the bath”. Oh, that just breaks my heart. His Nanny rang DoCS and the police to tell them what her grandson said. DoCS and police, of course, did sweet F-A about it.

Within that month, Nanna’s worst nightmare came true. The little boy was killed by the tw*t tickler. Nanna had told her daughter (the egg donor) what the little boy said about the tw*t tickler and that he wasn’t safe in the house with the tw*t tickler living there, and the indifferent egg donor turned around and insisted the little boy was fine. There are none so blind as those who will not see. The indifferent egg donor was more concerned with having her c*** plugged than what her tw*t tickler was doing to her little boy. Her fractured thought process probably went something like this “Oh to hell with that little brat, I’m getting some!”.

Nanna condemned her daughter in court, saying that she can never forgive her for not fulfilling her role in protecting her family. She went on to say that the family has been fractured by her daughter’s lack of action and that her daughter has no place within the family. Go Nanna! The indifferent egg donor sat apart from her family and wept as Nanna gave her statement. She did not cry for her little boy, she cried for the fact that her tw*t tickler is going to jail and that she can never put him above the safety of her child again.

The tw*t tickler pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Manslaughter. I’m pretty sure coming into the bathroom while the little boy was having a bath and beating him around the head is NOT accidental. The tw*t tickler went into the bathroom with the intent of doing the little boy some harm. The sentence hearing will continue. Please let the tw*t tickler be put into general population. And just before they put him in there, hand out flyers with the tw*t ticklers photo and details of the crime he committed. Then hand out some objects that can be made into shivs. And a reward for who can kill him in the messiest manner.

Rest in peace, little boy. Sorry that you had a selfish tw*t for a mother who put fucking before your wellbeing and safety.

A Port Stephens dog dropping is facing trial after he allegedly bruised and burned his baby son. The dog dropping made a series of admissions to authorities and was committed for trial yesterday. Mrs Dog Dropping is also facing charges and has had her case adjourned.

The dog dropping is accused of inflicting a series of injuries including haemorrhaging, fractured ribs and bruises to his baby son, who was only a few weeks old at the time. Let me guess, the baby boy wouldn’t stop crying so dog dropping thought that hurting him might shut him up? Mr and Mrs dog dropping had three children, but one died of SIDS in 2010, before the baby boy was born at the end of 2011. Yes, “SIDS”. So they lost one child, presumably to a mysterious cause, yet they treat the next baby like a piece of garbage? WTF?? I think the dead child should be examined a little bit more closely, given that the next baby was horribly abused.

The baby boy suffered a seizure (probably from a head injury) in December 2011 and was taken to hospital. A scan revealed haemorrhaging near the baby’s brain, and other injuries were discovered including bruising to the baby’s ears, eyelids, abdomen, heel and an indentation on his forehead. An MRI scan showed haemorrhaging consistent with the baby being shaken. How awful! The bad breeders were interviewed by social workers, medical staff and police and the boy plus the remaining sibling were taken away by the Department of Family and Community Services.

The dog dropping suggested ideas for how the baby got a dint in his head and why he had broken ribs. He told police that the baby’s forehead was burned on a light globe when he was playing with the baby by swinging him. An expert shot that idea down, saying that the globe in question could not generate that much heat to cause burns (probably one of those energy saver bulbs). As for the fractured ribs, both Mr and Mrs dog dropping said that Mr dog dropping fell on the baby. Plausible. But the fractures were 2 weeks old, and neither had sought help for the baby, who was probably shrieking in pain and dog dropping had tried to shut him up by hurting him even more.

year old son be molested by a cheap Thai prostitute. I do say molested because this boy was unable to give consent because he’s 13 years old! The father has been charged with sex tourism offences and I’ll explain this in a moment.

The offences took place on the Thai resort island of Koh Samui between September 6 and 9 last year. It will be incredibly hard to prove that the boy was raped by the prostitute, due to the fleeting moment and how quickly prostitutes move on to the next client/victim. But for now, police are alleging that the boy was molested.

Dad has been charged with two counts of child sex tourism, which are Commonwealth offences and carry a maximum penalty of 20 years prison. One charge alleges that he caused a child under the age of 16 years to engage in sexual intercourse outside of Australia, and the other that he procured a child to engage in sexual activity outside of his place of residence. So that means that the prostitute in question could very well be underage herself and that he not only allowed his son to be molested, but also contributed to the demand of underage prostitutes and sex trafficking. What a nasty, vile piece of work.

The man also was charged with assaulting his son at the Brisbane bayside in February this year.

The Commonwealth of Australia developed new laws to stop Australian pedophiles from going overseas and molesting foreign children, especially in Asian countries (this is called child sex tourism). This legislation has also given the Commonwealth extra-territorial powers to punish anyone committing illegal acts under Australian law in other countries. This case is a first for this new legislation. The man and his lawyer declined to give comment outside of the court. The case has been adjourned until April 24.

Considering that Thailand is known for “ladyboys”, I wonder Dad and son got a nasty surprise?

Yet again, we have another story of a bad boyfriend trying to kill his girlfriend’s child to bring her back into heat. I’m sure we need Sir David Attenborough to narrate these stories, because animals in the wild behave like this. Most of them are also not choosy about mating with first and second degree relatives. This tale of deep freezers, trailer homes and slight inbrededness comes to us from Harlan, Kentucky.

Randy Hammond (24 and what a name LOL) put his girlfriend’s 3 year old son in a deep freezer, then sat on the lid and wouldn’t let him out. The kid was in there for 20 minutes! The reason for this cold treatment? The kid wouldn’t stop crying! The little boy was also beaten, and when the police rocked up to the trailer home (what else would they live in?), the kid had bruising and swellings all over him. The police discovered that Rotten Randy had tried to cover up the boy’s injuries with makeup. The little boy was taken to Harlan hospital with head injuries.

The boy’s cousin, Portia Bearden (who is also commonly known as the boy’s grandma or aunt) said that it made her cry every time she thought about it. She also revealed that Rotten Randy bit the boy on the face, picked him up by his face, hit him and hung him upside down in the doorway. Aunty Grandma-Cousin had rang CPS many a time to report the abuse at the hands of the bad bumpkin boyfriend. She also said that the little boy used to be really happy, but then became too scared to even move because of Rotten Randy’s abuse. So sad!

The child’s grandmother Connie Jenkins (who is also reported as being his mother) told police that she knew that Rotten Randy was hurting the boy but she stood by and did nothing to help the kid. Of course not. Probably never occurred to her inbred brain that child abuse is wrong and that if you allow someone to abuse a child, you might as well have done it yourself. It’s likely that Granny Mama didn’t give birth to the boy because she’s 55 years old! So where’s the boy’s real mother? News reports don’t say. They only mention Rotten Randy as being the mother’s boyfriend or that Granny Mama is the kid’s mother. Which even if her reproductive system did have a last hurrah, Rotten Randy would be her boy toy! Ack!

Rotten Randy has been charged with attempted murder and criminal abuse in the first degree. Granny Mama (aka Connie Jenkins) has been charged with criminal abuse in the first degree. The little boy’s 5 other siblings have been removed from the trailer and will be interviewed as part of the police investigation. Of course Rotten Randy and Granny Mama have declined interviews with the media. Aunty Granny-Cousin aka Portia Bearsden will be fighting to get custody of the 6 kids.

There is a mugshot of Rotten Randy in a video in one of the articles. I’ve noticed that all these bad boyfriends featured on the blog have a nasty look upon their unfortunate visages. How come the desperate sluts that stay with them can’t see that there’s something not quite right about them? Do they ignore the warning signs that clearly say “Do not touch” because they’re desperately lonely? We could debate this on a whole new thread.

An inquest has been held for a little baby boy who died in 2008, which found that the baby had a BAC of 0.03. The legal BAC limit for fully licensed drivers in Australia is 0.05, and can easily be reached by two standard drinks.

Little baby Shorn died in November 2008 after his father found him not breathing in his cot at the family’s home in Parmelia, southern Perth WA. After he was rushed to hospital, Shorn was given up to a dozen doses of adrenaline, and doctors found a faint pulse. However, baby Shorn suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be transferred to Perth where he died two days later. He was 46 days old. His mother was in hospital because she had problems with her Caesarean scar. I hope that she wasn’t in the same hospital as her baby. Imagine being in hospital and hearing that your baby died when your partner was supposed to be caring for him?

Doctors initially believed that Shorn had died from SIDS or cot death. An adult sized pillow was placed into Shorn’s cot and his father found him face-down in the pillow. There were no external signs of trauma and the pathologist couldn’t pinpoint an exact cause for Shorn’s death. However, when Shorn was admitted to hospital, a blood test was conducted and the doctors found the alcohol in his system. Now how did that get in there?

Shorn’s father initially told police that he hadn’t been drinking at the time of the incident, but later admitted that he had two cans of bourbon and coke before turning in for the night and that he only ever fed Shorn baby formula. He suggested that the alcohol may have transferred to Shorn when he was doing CPR and mouth to mouth on him. He also suggested that Shorn’s bottles may have been sterilised with alcohol and that’s how it got into him. The inquest heard that alcohol wasn’t used to sterilise the bottles and that there wasn’t any alcohol in the formula. The deputy coroner noted that if the mixed formula was left standing for a few days, it could produce some alcohol. She noted that this had happened with a bottle of formula that Shorn’s father had made and left on the coffee table when he found his son. The formula had been sitting there for three days and produced an alcohol reading of 0.019%. It was not likely that it was involved with the alcohol in the baby’s system. The coroner also noted that when she was young, alcohol was commonly used to soothe babies and that Shorn had a history of being hard to settle.

The toxicologist said that the reading would have been much higher when Shorn was found that morning. Dad had last fed him around 10pm the night before and put him to bed. He discounted the theory of the sterilisation and the CPR, and stated that a teaspoon of spirits such as bourbon, whiskey or gin could have caused the baby’s reading to be so high. The expert could not confidently say that the alcohol caused the baby’s death or that he had a lethal amount in his system. The level measured at the hospital wasn’t lethal, but anything over 0.01 was concerning. He said that alcohol had a sedative effect on babies, and that it affects their breathing, posture control and gag reflex.

The inquest is continuing, with the father yet to give evidence. The coroner has urged him to tell the truth, even if he did give the baby alcohol.

Terry Smith (43) and his wife Victoria Smith (42) from Elsberry, Missouri have been charged with endangering the life of a child after it was found that they kept their 6 year old autistic son in a filthy cage in the basement.

Authorities began investigating the Smiths after an anonymous tip-off was made to the Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline in 2010, when the boy was 6 years old. Authorities removed the boy and his 6 siblings from the couple, who were living in O’Fallon at the time, but were returned on a later date. The couple were then released because of “personal recognisance”. What the fuck is “personal recognisance”? Is that like if you say “Oh, I’m not a criminal, so let me go” and they just do it?

Now to the cage incident. When the police rocked up to the Elsberry home after a call from Grandma, they found the boy naked, in a small crib made of wood, lying in his own filth. He wasn’t wearing any clothes. Officers described the smell of piss as almost unbearable and that they could smell it when they came down the stairs. The crib’s dimensions measured at 3 ft (0.9m) tall, 3 ft (0.9m) wide and 6 ft (1.8m) long. Although the crib was small and filthy, it contained some toys and its occupant seemed contented. The crib had a plywood top and was held together with nice sharp cable ties and eye-gouging ockey straps.

This looks safe and stable…not!

Grandma was watching the other kids at the time of the raid, while the parents were out shopping. The other kids range from 11 months to 8 years old. Police stated that the rest of the house was filthy too, not just the cage. The doorknobs on the other kids’ bedroom doors had been installed backwards, so that the parents could get in but the kids couldn’t get out. The mother would lock the kids in their rooms if they got rowdy.

The parents told police that they had to build a cage because it was the only way to stop the kid from hurting himself or other people, and that the reason why the kid was nekkid was because they were afraid he’d accidentally hang himself if he wore clothing. They also said they tried their best to keep the cage clean. Here’s a hint: if the whole fucking basement reeks of piss, that’s not clean! I clean out my sister’s rat cage out when I can smell even the slightest hint of ratty odour, I can’t imagine letting anything get as bad as reeking of piss. The boy was originally put in the cage at night, but this extended to daytime use as well, when he became more difficult to control. A social worker pleaded with the family to put the boy in a group home, where he could get all the meds and help he needed. Mr Smith told officials that he knew the situation wasn’t ideal, but his goal was to try and keep the family together for as long as possible. I feel for you, Mr Smith. It wouldn’t be easy to give a child up, no matter how difficult they were. But there comes a time when your kid’s needs outweigh what you want. The cage may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it wasn’t a magical solution and it came with its own set of problems such as hygiene and safety.

The parents have been charged with felony endangering the welfare of a child and bail has been set at $2500 for each of them. If they’re convicted, the parents may be facing up to 7 years in prison. The boy was taken into protective custody but will be released back to his parents, who will hopefully put him in the group home that he needs.

I found this story kinda sad. I just couldn’t feel angry about the parents. Perhaps I’m getting soft, but from what I can gather, the parents were having a hard time dealing with their severely autistic son, as well as six other children who needed love and attention too. I can see why they thought a cage was a magical solution. The article did say that the boy seemed contented in there, and my limited knowledge of kids with autism tells me that they easily become overwhelmed by too much space (ie. playgrounds or even a loungeroom) so confinement might have been soothing to him. The father was trying to keep it all together, but he could see that the problems were just too big and that he was too proud to accept help. I just find that really sad 🙁 No one was killed, and hopefully the little boy will get the help he needs, and that his family will be willing to let him go to that help.

On this blog, we have established that alcohol is not for kiddos. Beer, in particular, tastes nasty to a young chook’s palate. My dad bought me a beer when we were at the pub once. On the day of my 18th birthday.

A Newcastle man bought several schooners of beer for his 12 year old son (who possibly lacked taste buds) and then crashed his car into a concrete barrier near the pub. CCTV footage from the Hotel Jesmond showed the man drinking schooners and pushing several glasses of beer over to his son, who then drank about half the contents of two glasses. A witness alerted the bar staff and they ejected the man, the 12 year old boy and another son aged 8. The Drunken Daddy then got behind the wheel of his car with his two sons in tow and tried to drive away, but reversed into a concrete barrier instead. The licencee strode over and yoinked the keys out of the ignition and called the po-po while Drunken Daddy wobbled off across the road. When the cops showed up, Drunken Daddy had slurred speech and reeked of booze. He was taken to Waratah police station where he registered a BAC reading of 0.31 (0.05 is the legal limit in Australia). The boys were picked up by a family friend, and the father was driven home from the cop shop.

In court, Drunken Daddy denied that his sons were in the car when he tried to drive off, but the CCTV footage clearly showed the kids climbing into the car. The footage taken from the beer garden also showed the 12 year old drinking beer and and Drunken Daddy pushing schooners of beer towards him. The 12 year old still had a glass of beer in front of him when bar staff investigated, and he pushed the glass away when he realised they were being watched. So, the boy knew it was wrong, Dad knew it was wrong, yet they continued? It seems the boy has brain damage from all this drinking and has possibly destroyed his taste buds in the process (I like beer now, but not when I was 12!) I wonder how long the secondary supply has been going on for the boy to actually like the taste of beer?

Drunken Daddy was charged with supplying alcohol to a minor and high-range drink driving. The case has been adjourned until May. This isn’t Drunken Daddy’s first foray into drink driving, no siree. He was previously caught high range drink driving in 1993 and low range drink driving in 1997. His traffic record also contains several offences, including speeding and driving while his licence was cancelled.

A little bit about alcohol in Australia: It’s not unusual to see kids in pubs. Most Australian kids have been inside a pub before they turn 18. Most pubs in Australia have a beer garden (outdoor area where you can sit and drink, watch a band maybe), some have playgrounds and playrooms with video games, DVDs on the telly etc. Kids are allowed in the beer garden and the bistro, provided they’re in the immediate presence of a parent or guardian. Obviously they’re not allowed to drink alcohol.
